I'm in the process of upgrading my entertainment system which includes a Q Acoustics 5.1 speaker setup comprising 1050i fronts, 1010i rears, 1000Si sub and 1000Ci center. I'd like to upgrade the floorstanders first as 70% of my listening is music in 2 channel mode. I'd like to achieve three things with a potential upgrade, listed by highest importance first:
I'm torn between getting smaller floorstanding speakers, setting them at say 80hz cut off and upgrading the sub to handle the low frequencies, or just going all out on a pair of big front speakers to run at full range. My concern with the latter is whether the low end might muddy the mids a bit, especially given how close they will be to the wall.
I'm not averse to second hand speakers if anyone could recommend models to look out for, either!
Thanks for reading.
- Better clarity for music reproduction; a more transparent sound with tighter bass control.
- Balanced and clear sound at lower volumes.
- Sub-bass extension.
